Why is everyone talking about these skateboard trucks? NEW Ace AF1 Trucks 

What trucks are you currently riding & do you like them?! Ace AF1 or Indy Reverse Kingpins?! Pick a team you softies...

Levi:"Looking like a fool with your wheel popping off".... Daewon Song: "...am I joke to you?"

Damn it! Someone owes you a check, bro. You sold the shit outta these trucks. I'm in my car headed to my lss as we speak - no joke. I'm excited that these trucks are gonna transport me back to better days when new skate products were rad, not just replacements.

Im buying these the doodoo bag feature convinced me

I skated independent trucks since the early 80s. I bought a pair of the 55 AF1’s And Skated them this weekend. I took a pair of 155 independent titanium’s off and they will not go back on. The ace trucks just felt smoother. The bushings. Smooth with the vibration. I don’t know if that new aluminum process eats up the vibration, but It just feels so much better. Carving is so smooth. This is my new truck

What type of friend charges you to rethread your axle 😂

I love ACE Trucks but now I LOVE ACE TRUCKS!

I’m a thunder guy but damn these look so awesome and so durable. I’m glad Ace is succeeding and getting the hype it deserves

Ace is the fucking best. I was hella brand loyal to Indy for the last 20 years I’ve been skating. Got interested in trying em out after I saw their team like two years: Julien, grosso, nick boserio, Dane Brady, and Ronnie. I was sold and gave em a shot and was absolutely blown away at how much I loved them. Emailed them and told them that they were perfect, and that i ended up giving kids at my local park all the old pairs of indys I had on other set ups and replaced them with aces. I didn’t expect a response, low and behold they(shrewgy) wrote back saying it made his day and they ended up sending me a box, and that shit made my year.

The rethreading nut is an awesome idea.

This reminds me of when Rodney Mullen start innovating Tensor Trucks with new ideas. Now it looks like Ace is taking the lead with innovation.

Grosso = Legend

That's the most masculine picture of Evan Mock I've EVER seen, by far.

Swapped out my Indies for AF1 44s and I love it. I’ve still got the Indie soft bushings, but that nice long kingpin gives me much more flexibility with truck tight/looseness. Really happy with how they turn

I love this channel! You guys are as creative as you are informative. After almost 20 years of skating I now realize I only had a surface level of skate lore knowledge

Been rolling Ace since 2008 ... best trucks! if you aint tried them yet you are missing out.

Just got them a couple of days ago, haven’t skated em much but man they’re smooth with the turns, and they grind like butter. Liking em so far 🙏🏻

Yes!!! Love seeing my hometown park with Cardiel in the beginning. I was there the day he pulled that 270. I’ll never forget it.

You need to hand these out to all the top riders with $100 bills tucked into the baseplates. It worked for Independent.

Re threading nuts have been around since the 2000's. Great to see a brand making them a standard. "Stay out of the malls" love it. Ace's for 5 years now✊

I've ground baseplates down to the pivot bushings on a set of Indies, a set of Tensors, and a set of Destructos. Now I'm trying Ace AF1s and I like them alot.

I will stay with my venture, but every(almost) trucks is fun with the good setup to fit them. I love the turn on the classic.

My first ever set of trucks were Ace Classic's, I'm riding Indy Stage XI hollows now, but really wanted to try the AF1s

RIP Grosso

Give Levi a raise, excellent work as ever.

I'm riding older Ace 55s on my big bowl setup. Love em.

I've never ridden Ace trucks they look really nice the design I ride Independence trucks

I’m skating the classic ace 55s right now but will be getting some af1s down the road for sure. I like the attention to detail they put into them

Super Stoked!! Just set up AF1 size 22 (7.75 inch axle) on Krooked Zip Zinger (7.75 inch), with REAL wooden risers (1/8 inch), Bones 56 mm 80A ATF Wheels. I guess i just unlocked the ultimate cruiser set up. They turn SOOOOOO well, i have always been an indy fan though. Well Done Ace Team!!!

I picked up the rethreader keychain at my local shop, ace is making big moves I’m die hard thunder tho lol

Damn bub i thought the skate tools they came out with some where in 2010 with the nut re-threader and bearing press was game changing but this is a game changer

I’m on ace classics and the af1 sounds great!

I've been skating Thunders my whole life. Needed new trucks and my local shop didnt have any, but he was pushing Ace big time so I got a set. In love so far!!!

this is why I absolutely love ace

I haven't got around to the AF1's yet. I've been riding the classic Ace 22's, 33's, 44's, and 55's depending on what size decks I can get my hands on. I've been riding exclusively Ace since then. Before that I was riding pre-China MFG Indy's with Indy super soft bushings. They were great, but I wasn't able to push them as hard as I have my Ace. What I've learned along the way: Krux, "World's Best Cushions" are the best you can possibly do for Ace for bushings/pivot cups. The high pivot cup clearance lets you really let your shit hang loose without ripping them. Recently, I removed the front/top bushing and replaced it with two of the bushing washers set up like a sandwich. I'm able to push my front truck as loose as it can possibly go, and take it just to the point of wheelbite. My back truck, I keep it medium with very, very, broken in Krux bushings. People who trash Ace have no idea what they're talking about, and are holding themselves back from true progression in control and style. Buy Ace and win.

Always been on thunders, tried indys, really liked ventures, but these Aces are a whole new level 😡😤🫰

i have these trucks and have some been back on independent for awhile after leaving thunder for the turning radius. overall i think i’ll hear aces are sick af

I'm mainly a Tensor guy. I'm riding the Mag Light ATG's however, my other setup I have Thunder's. I may give Ace a try since I keep hearing about them in my shops I go to.

You make these sound pretty slick... I'm definitely intrigued! Currently riding Indy Armanto Hollow 139s (With little Ice Cream Etchings ^^) They are very nice but I haven't had them that long, so I still have to see how long they last!

Really solid run down and history lesson. I have two sets of ace but have only tried them for the bowl and a cruiser. I haven't tried skating street with Ace. I will definitely check these out. My local said they placed their order. Stay rad and keep the quality videos coming.

It’s so awesome… I just got a black label deck, one of the most awesome graphics I’ve ever seen, (lucero backwards with the cross but it’s yellow stain with a pink cross), and some ace trucks. I’m totally sold

Ace and Baku trucks will always be my pref for trucks

ACE trucks started in the 70s. They were a copy of Bennett with a hanger similar to a square Tracker. They would get major speed wobbles. Very strong .

I was gonna go with classic Independent trucks, but you've officially sold me. Once I get the chance, I'm def buying these, they sound dope as hell

The Indy inverted kingpin sounds pretty awesome

You really good on ensuring me to move from indy to ace haha

These trucks are so awesome . They are the surfiest trucks ever

AF1 never had independent but the AF1 is dope. Like they grind so well I was doin good asf with these than my old trucks. I WAS SHOCKED

Love the wall of fame at the back

The Ace skate tool is sick. It's collapsible and has the rethread nuts in it.

I have to say, I'm an Indy man. Been riding them for a really longtime. I'm currently riding the forged hollows. I have no complaints.

I’ve tried all kinds of trucks. Venture, Indy, & thunder etc. But when I got on Ace. Bro.. it’s like all good the things from those other trucks combined

Coming from longboards, that reverses kingpin seems like a big liability to long term skating more common with techslide with fewer grinds

I’m riding the gold ace af1 55 and honestly it’s on another level game changer For sure

I know 4 people where the pivot cup hangar on their indy truck snapped. Within the space of 2 months. They all ride ace now

i got ace classics size 55s and they fit fine on my 8.5 deck

Lying to kids about the truck size and board width got me. I’ve learned now but for a solid while I’ve done it. Hahahah

Thanks for the video. I just got the gold ones. First time buyer.

been riding 159 indys for years, and got my 2nd pair of venture 6.1s recently since theyre my 159 indy size. Tried bones bushings all hardness, Ride hard. On one pair of ventures, stock on a second set of ventures, and indy conicals on my 159s. hard under baseplate, med-hard(blue) under nut conicals. Ever since the conical indy bushings came out ive been on them, offer the bones turning w.o blowing out within 1-2 months. I may try indy conical bushings on ventures. The kader bushings were wheelbite city softer than the stock 6.1 bushings. Ultimately depends on the deck/concave and quiver/setup/build. Aces are on the list but i still have to ride some 6.1 ventures on my 8.38 and shaped setups. Plus i just found out Real makes wood risers for ventures, ive been using indy risers. But the stock bushing 6.1s have 56mm wheels vs the worn 52mm conicals with the bones hards that needs risers. I dont think bones pair well with ventures. Going to try some indy med-hards. IDK im just so used to an 8.75' axle. With the 6.1 venture and 159 indy.

7:38 - Gotem

Now we need a video history for Thunder trucks!

I remember seeing a video on these a while ago there weren't much on them they looked dope and I wasn't really sure about what trucks to get and I kind of wanted em but I just knew more about like indys and thunders so I ended up with thunders great truck but I knew I should've gave ace a chance gonna go to the shop tmmrw and check em out thanks

Rode Independent trucks since the 80's. Switched from Indy trucks to these and am glad I did. Turn great and grind great!!! Not looking back.

I've been riding the venture hollow king pins, honestly I cant complain. I havnt bent them or broke anything on them. Had em for 2 years and I'm just now starting to grind the kingpin. So I'm gonna slap a new set on or maybe I'll try the aces out

Great stuff buddy.

The last few pairs of Indies I’ve had - the 4 boltholes in the baseplate stretch and end up becoming ovals. You’ll manny over a crack and the whole truck will shift and change direction cuz the baseplate isn’t secured solidly.

I need to get some AF1s to try. I've been skating them for a while. I love them. I used to only skate indies. I've been a huge fan of Ace's for a while. I'm excited to hear about the pivot cups. I've been switching them out for the riptide pivot cups. I fuck with my trucks a lot just to see if I can find something better.

Indy for life!

I dunno I have a couple different pairs of trucks. Some USA made Indys, Thunders and one pair of 66 Ace classics. I actually think that size works betrer for a 9" board

How about an inverted kingpin, bones bushings and the rethread nut all in one????

The whole time I'm like "when's he gonna explain that red nut??" That was a cool ass idea.

Ace AF1’s are the Cadillac of skate trucks… They feel luxurious

So I haven't skated since I was a teenager,but what happened to Tracker,Gullwing,G&S,And Venture trucks? I remember back in the day,Grind King were the kingpins of choice.

The new aces are amazing

ok i need a AF1 55 & 66..now i need to find a skateshop in Borneo that has them in-stock..the previous Classics that i got, i ordered from Thailand which was the closest country and has international shipping that doesn't cost more than the trucks itself.

Been riding Indys since I could roll. 30+ years but I gotta say Id try Ace in a pinch for sure. No pun intended. The rethreader is an awesome idea. At least there not Trackers lol.

Has anyone tried stage 4s with the inverted kingpin because i feel like that would solve all that trucks problems with the bad kingpin clearance

I want to ride both... and Ventures too

I'm usually a stage XI guy, but seriously considering grabbing a set 🔥

I can’t wait for the follow up video after Levi skates these bad boys. For me I never liked the inverted kingpin. I am anal about tightening the kingpins and would lose count with the amount of turns. I count the threads and make them match. What I find genius is that Ace trucks got all these out to the skate shops around the same time. I’m really curious about are the cushions. Normally with Indy or ace trucks since I’m a heavier rider I have to swap them out for a harder Duro.

Is Ace interested in using a cross logo? I know one that isn’t being used anymore.

There was Tracker Trucks. The all Plastic trucks. Remember those? Its what us poor kids rode.

They are heavy. Are they suited best for flatground or transition?

Tried ventures,indy,tensor,thunders. Thunders are my go too. But a krux or a ace are still on my to do list.

Couple years ago when Bam did the Nine Club episode he was plugging the hell out of Ace trucks. Made me curious, but I wasn't skating at the time. On Indy's right now, but man I keep thinking about trying some Aces, keep hearing about em like the title says lol.

I have always skated indies, but they’re so squeaky in every indie truck I’ve ridden, so I wanted to try new brands lately, and aces are some for me to consider? Especially if they come in hollows?

I ride thunder for their wheel base but if that ever changes ill try ace

Doesn't Krux still have the inverted kingpins and still sell them by the board size?

sick photo of Evan Mock

I broke my trucks and want to get Ace for the first time but I am not sure what size would be the best. I saw people saying the 55 are too small for 8.5 despite it says they fit that on their website. I ride 8.5 most of the time, sometimes smaller but I might even go into bigger sizes in the future but not 100% sure. I like my trucks ever so slightly bigger than the deck so you just about can see the axle bolts. Should I get 60s?

I had trouble with the bushings popping out on my old aces this would cause the bushing to stick to one side so I’m wondering if the new washer shape will fix that

Can someone please make a comparison video on the classics vs the af1’s ?

How do they compare to Indy 149 in terms of weight?

sold after watching and comparing trucks i got these today at local shop in s. cal. got bushings size .88 also for new board 8.25 want get 59 wheels bearings? standard redz,bronson,or indep havent decided yet, great educational video, thx

I still don't know if i should switch from ace to indy mid?

Does anyone know what the music in the beginning was? It's so relaxing.

Ace 66 wheelbite like crazy when skating pools/bowls. I thought they looked awesome but nearly broke myself in half. Are these any better/stiffer.

As one of those 40-something "old school" guys who grew up riding Indy - but swapped in Deadbolt and Grind King kingpins when they hit the market - I have to say this video makes me think two things: 1) Denser = stronger = heavier. I personally prefer lighter, even if they don't last as long... like the magnesium trucks I love. 2) Inverted kingpin just should be THE standard by now. I do hate Indy's crooked marketing, but - like my old Deadbolt and Grind King kngpings - there's no kingpin hangups, even with "low" versions of trucks. So... Bottom line... This just reminds me that Grind King re-launched, and I can get my inverted kingpin fix there, with light/strength, instead.

I was wondering if the ace rethreading die would work with other trucks? Or do they only work with ace af1s?

Levi is the Man!
